as P. speciosus, but are much smaller in size, their chief if

 The Andaman Dissemurus possesses a short but cistinct 

 frontal crest, not so much developed as in the Malabar and 

 Ceylon species, but more so than in the almost crestless Ma- 

 laccan form. It is larger than either the Javan, Malaccan, or 

 Malabar species, but smaller than all others, D. brachyphorus, 

 of course excepted.
